KVGB Great Bend City Edition 10-15-14

I like to listen to AM 1590 KVGB in the mornings. The hosts of their early show, Patrick Burnett and Steve Webster promoted this week’s episode of the Great Bend City Edition show.

The reason for the promotion, one of them, Steve, would be the chew toy of the Great Bend Police Department’s K-9 Officer, Kia.

Since I work nearby, I arranged my schedule to be there in time to have my cameras ready. I did have to watch where I stood. One of the police officers warned me that if the dog saw me and not its real target, well I would become the new one. Given how fast on my feet I am not, I took that to heart.

Fortunately, Kia (pronounced with a silent A) found his proper target.

Below are some of the pictures I took during the show:
